Are we all not experiencing different things?

I didn't write your posts, you didn't write mine, my questions are not popping into your head and vice versa.

So we are separate on that basis alone, this is undeniable.

I wasn't writing your post. I was trying get a handle on what you do and do not know about the Buddha's teaching. I have seen enough.

There is freedom from birth, freedom from becoming, freedom from making, freedom from conditioning. If there were not this freedom from birth, freedom from becoming, freedom from making, freedom from conditioning, then escape from that which is birth, becoming, making, conditioning, would not be known here. -- Ud 80

They remain unanswered, and aren't readily answerable by physical observation.

Ah so the olive branch was offered and then rejected

IF you are really interested in learning then you would have answered my questions, I would have answered yours and something constructive could have been born

Instead you retreated into nebulous childishness

I am not any more interested in Buddhism

Hmm

than it offers more rational half-explanations about unanswerable questions than do other religions; almost to the point where I wouldn't consider it a religion, but a science, if it weren't so evasive (although still less so than other religions).

Well it depends on how you define "religion"

After all certain forms of Marxism can be considered a religion

Its not evasisve as such, just to the point

A subtle difference, but a difference nether the less

Thus far your only retort has been to evade the holes rather than fill them.

Im afraid that is all you have done

Based on the Sutta's I've read, it seems even Buddha won't be able to patch you back up (he'll just tell you to ignore them in an attempt to save you the stress of having irreparable holes).

In what way?

And please dont duck, its beneath you

He who binds to himself a joyDoes the wingèd life destroy;But he who kisses the joy as it fliesLives in eternity's sunrise.
